Seven years since Nick broke free from Carpenter Sanitarium. Twelve years since he began his killing spree. Following his altercation with the Williams and Sheriff Taylor, Nick has since been in a catatonic state and locked back up in the very place he escaped from--in the meantime, his half-sister, Bridget, has been continously struggling to cope with the trauma that occurred on that fateful night and firmly holds on to the fear that her big brother still has plans to come and kill her. To try and put her mind at ease, her boyfriend, Kyle, invites her along on a winter getaway with all their friends. Unfortunately, at the same time the group leaves, Nick's doctor orders him transferred from Carpenter to a new hospital. Upon overhearing the paramedics discuss his baby sister, Nick wakes up from his stupor and, after disposing of the ambulance crew, heads out to find Bridget...and it isn't to wish her a merry Christmas.
